Curated Selection: Ben Sherman Christmas Gift Ideas

November 16, 2010

I’ll always remember 1963. Any August Man worth his salt needs to remember the 60s for 3 reasons. The Beatles released their first LP. It was an era of swanky style and classic elegance (men wore form fitting suits. Obesity was not the norm) and most importantly, somewhere in Brighton- Brit icon Ben Sherman was born.

Founded by Arthur Bernard Sugarman, the Brighton born Brit moved to America before he returned to his home town, hot on a trend of a breed of Oxford-cloth shirt lovers who regularly purchased from Brooks Brothers and Arrow, brands that were often worn by luminary Jazz artists like Miles Davis and Oscar Peterson. The result was Ben Sherman.

Today, his classic Brit inspired homages to yesteryear have become Christmas staples in my December wardrobe and in the spirit of giving, I’d like to share my personal Ben Sherman Curated Selection of Christmas gift ideas with you.
